A possible new Evil Men faction

<< < (2/30) > >>

Fredius:
You know, in the German side of the suggestion forums there is already a whole proposal made for the Evil Men faction. The whole faction is fleshed out in a 4 page discussion :D. Here is the link, just try using google translate: http://forum.modding-union.com/index.php/topic,32289.0.html

I didn't want to enter details like units, heroes, etc. on this because of the reasons the Lord of Gifts and DieWalküre pointed out, and because we don't even know if they would be an agressive or defensive faction. When I helped stirring up this discussion on ModDB I was more worried about other contenders for the two faction "slots" to be filled after the remaining announced factions are released. In fact, I still am interested in any other possible factions that could be implemented, besides the Men of Darkness, because I can think of none.

In the case of no other strong contestants, I think the ideal thing would be for Rhûn and Harad, or Easterlings and Southrons to use more general names, to be separate factions, but I may be wrong in this. Lore-wise it makes sense given how big a territory these people occupy and how diverse their culture is, having many separate tribes and peoples under the Easterling and Southron umbrellas. These diverse peoples could be turned into units, but maybe I'm exagerating, and there isn't that much material for two whole factions. There certainly is for at least one, not to mention artwork I've been digging.

In either case, even though I said that I don't want to enter into details, I had this general idea of a mobile wainrider outpost or building. Given how these people live, travel, and wage war in their wagons, I guess it would be interesting and unique in the mod to have a wagon-building, or maybe a building formed by many wagons, that is capable to be moved around and relocated in the battlefield.

Oh, lawd, this is going to take a while...
But thank you Fredius, I'll take a look.

Walküre:
That is the German Community, and I don't really know the reasons why they could open a thread that involves this topic, or what reasons the Edain Team or the German Moderators had to allow the debate to legitimately continue, and I'm not questioning that.

As I wrote above, all the threads of this kind in the English forum were closed by the three Moderators that have been present so far in the English Community  :)
And I totally agree with their reasons, being myself one of them in the first place  :D

You can behold yourself.

It's like in the Common Law.
It's a sort of precedent case in the 'Moderating Law' of MU  ;)
And, as I explained on ModDB, the reasons of this 'consolidated practice' are based both on the known reasons already mentioned and various pronouncements of the Edain Team in this direction.

But, as you can see, nothing has been locked.
I just moved this thread in this section, as we are virtually talking about something that technically doesn't exist neither as an actually existing element nor as an announced plan.
But, all opinions are obviously more than welcomed, and I too support the general pillars of this topic as I stated on ModDB.

If there is an official statement regarding this suggestion, I will be more than happy to move this thread again, and 'restore' it as a regular proposal  :)

Fredius:
Oh wait Walk my post wasn't meant as a reply to your previous post, I just wanted to notify everyone that in the German forums there already was a proposal about this idea [ugly].
